There are 7 ACTIVE business units but I am unable to show them all

SELECT b.name
from business_units b
left outer join REQUEST_FORM r on b.id = r.BusinessUnitID
where b.active = 1 and r.userid = 8
group by b.name
order by b.name

and it all revolves around the AND that is bolded above. Not sure how the rewrite this

ideas?

Try this:

SELECT b.name
from business_units b
left outer join REQUEST_FORM r
on b.id = r.BusinessUnitID and r.userid = 8
where b.active = 1
group by b.name
order by b.name
